Nothing keeps me more grounded than working with kids. They will be here today, tomorrow, and every day after, regardless of how bad the world around us gets. Everyday I get the privilege of showing up for them.

NYC election is such a prime example that when people say “but if we do that the rich people will just leave” (usually about taxes) it’s such a boldfaced lie. They’re rich! If they were willing to live somewhere else, they would!

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

When he stepped onto the court, the world watched. No one dunked harder or jumped higher. But the GOAT never made it pro.
There are countless NYC stories like his. Brilliant talents lost to drugs or crime. It doesn’t have to be this way.
